"I Fed 24 Years of My Blog Posts to a Markov Model" you're not the first who did it. Already dozens of LLMs did it.


why do you think the German girl wants you to translate her profile?


That was not implied by the post.


The post implied the opposite. However, if the German girl writes in German, probably she wants to date in German, the dating platform follows her wish by making it hard to extract the text, translate it, and eventually waste her time.


This is not at all the point of un-selecatable text development.

I don't even want to ask how you came to this example.

Every day this forum becomes more like reddit.


The post used an example of a Bumble match though. So it kind of makes sense one can discuss it alongside the main message.

Ooh, caught one in the wild!


This might be one interpretation, but in my particular case she also set English as the language she can date in. And then, she was visiting Armenia, so it was unlikely she wanted to date in German exclusively.


I don't use Bumble or any dating app, but if I saw someone's dating profile on a platform I was already on I might just read it to learn more about it. Even if the person is of no interest to me. Sometimes people put interesting details about their personal life in dating profiles. It's probably not going to lead to a relationship, but it might at least lead me to an interesting topic about another culture to learn about.

In the case that it is in another language, I'd probably just use google translate if I'm not fluent enough in reading the language.


Do you have a basic knowledge how those apps work? Both people must swipe right. If the German girl isn't interested in dating with non-German, she can just swipe left. No time wasted.


The German federal election of 2025 represents an interesting case for game-theoretic analysis because the parties agreed to exclude the second-largest party from any coalition. Besides, one party failed to pass the 5% threshold which also had essential power-redistribution consequences.

It made French grammar a breeze. (Mostly.)


I'd love to have it the other way round: a tool to transform Podcasts into Newsletters


For sure! It would be great to have this as a feature, but for now, I'm focusing on the other way around.

Thanks for the feedback :)


Letter "D" comes from "door" not from "fish". It's wrong Egyptian hieroglyph.


ok, I see that it probably comes from this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_script where the "fish" ("dag") hieroglyph is used. However, this wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalet) refers to the "door" (delet) hieroglyph.

Quote: "ad-based financing means that the companies have an interest in manipulating our attention on behalf of advertisers, instead of letting us connect as we wish." - and right after that there's an ad, for me it has a taste of hypocrisy. Why does nyt let the ads in, instead of letting me read as I wish?


The alternative is to pay, not "read as you wish". And I think NYT has that option (but I do not know if that is ad-free)


it seems that the site is partly down: the portolio accounts have connection problem, yours including The rest works


Hey, dev here, can you please elaborate on your issue?


links like a2.devport.co (i.e. *.devport.co) didn't work, the rest worked. Now, everything is down.
